VegNews welcomes freelance inquiries and is open to a variety of subjects relating to vegetarianism. Our mission is to inform, make people think, and entertain. When sending a pitch, please include two to three writing samples (ideally published clips), either as a Word attachment or a list of urls. Please note that we never publish unsolicited pieces.

A few tips for getting published in VegNews:

Know the magazine and website. Read it, study it, learn it, know it. Get a sense of where your writing will fit in best, and let us know. Do you live in a particularly veg-friendly town and interested in penning a VegEscape, or do you have a great idea for a compelling exposé? It's amazing how many queries we receive from folks who haven't read the publication or visited our website.

Keep your pitches concise. Tease us with your tantalizing ideas, and we'll come running. We just don't have time to read 10-page story ideas.

Communicate via email. We are always connected, and email is our preferred method of communication for initial writing queries. Our team will get back to you as promptly as we can. Whether you are a seasoned or aspiring writer, there are many areas freelancers can contribute to VegNews, including:

Travel

Recipes

Food features

Restaurant reviews

Interviews

Business profiles

Feature articles

Back-page pieces

Compensation
